Car Accidents in Tennessee

Motor vehicle accidents across Tennessee are all too common, particularly in urban areas during high-traffic times. Each year, the state reports thousands of crashes resulting in injury or death. Many are caused by distracted driving, speeding, and impaired drivers. Tennessee's Department of Safety and Homeland Security continues to monitor trends and implement safety measures to reduce these incidents.

Understanding some of the most frequent causes of crashes may help bring more awareness to drivers. Here are several contributing factors to Tennessee crashes:

• Driver Distraction: Mobile phone, eating, adjusting navigation systems, or simply not paying attention can quickly lead to dangerous conditions on the road. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents in Tennessee.
• Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and snow can cause slick roads and reduce visibility. Drivers who fail to adjust their speed and driving style during inclement weather risk losing control or colliding with others.
• Speeding: Going above the posted limit reduces reaction time and increases the severity of crashes. Many serious injuries result from high-speed impacts, especially on highways like I-275.
• Tailgating: Following another vehicle too closely often leaves little time to respond to sudden stops. Rear-end collisions are common results of this behavior and can lead to neck and spine injuries.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs, including some prescription medications, can impair a driver's judgment, coordination, and reaction time. These crashes are often among the most severe.
